So for example, in 1936, that would mean a crude death rate from normal
causes of less than 5 per 1000 a year, based on a population of 180.2 million people in the Soviet Union. That's impossible and the death rate has never been that low in the Soviet Union, Stalin or no Stalin, not even in 1982, when the crude death rate was 10.1. (3) In fact, the
crude death rate has never been below 5 per 1000 a year in U.S. history either.
